[[Adware is any software application in which advertisements are displayed
while the program is running. The authors of these applications include
additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up
windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen. The
justification for adware is that it helps recover programming development
cost and helps to hold down the cost for the user.]]
